Unable to convert word document to pdf

[Madhava Swamy]

HI,

This is a typical case of not able to convert to word documents to pdf. I am trying to use the same code example that was provided by you as part of the samples. While using the word file which is part of the example it is working fine. When I try to use any other document that has some formatting, I am getting the error as follows.

Syncfusion.DLS.XDLSException was unhandled by user code
Message="Collection cannot serialize if Document property is NULL"
Source="Syncfusion.DLS.Base"
StackTrace:

Hi Madhava,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

I was able to reproduce the issue. Currently we do have limited support for converting Doc to PDF format. However it was not intended to be a full fledged Doc to PDF conversion solution and was only intended to be an unsupported utility class (Not supported/actively developed) that allowed to convert simple Doc to PDF for customers who owned both Essential DocIO and Essential PDF. We will also be removing reference to this functionality in our upcoming version.

Kindly let me know if you have any other queries.

Best Regards,
Bhuvaneswari.
